FIX APPLIANCES CA

 Home appliances, kitchen and laundry are very popular and can be found in every house worldwide. Nowadays, we can’t imagine our daily routine without them, especially when discussing food and meal storage. It’s easy to run out of fridge space these days. Many households have two fridges (plus a chest freezer). Or you have a full-sized kitchen, a mid-sized (like a college dorm fridge) in the basement, a small chest freezer, and a beverage fridge. Obviously, a refrigerator is one of the most necessary appliances.

 However, like any other appliance, the refrigerators can break down. Based upon our approximately 20 years of experience, when you face problems with them, you must be sure that the fridge technicians will return them to life as soon as possible. The professionals at FIX Appliances CA can solve most issues with all types and brands of refrigerators.

 Our experts will provide same-day fridge repair services when you contact us by phone or leave a request online. You will be satisfied with a well-done job at reliable prices soon!

 A condenser fan is used on frost-free refrigerators that have a condenser coil at the bottom of the cabinet, inside the compressor compartment. The fan runs whenever the compressor runs, and it draws cool room air through the front grille and circulates it through the condenser coils, over the compressor, and back out the front grille into the room. The circulating air helps cool the condenser coils’ compressor and refrigerant. The air also helps evaporate the water in the drain pan.

 If your condenser fan stops, the temperature of the refrigerant will rise, and the compressor may overheat. This will cause the temperature in the refrigerator to rise. You should check to see if there are any obstructions preventing the fan blades from turning. If the blades do not spin freely, it is likely that the motor bearings are worn out.

 Condenser fan motors are usually unique to each refrigerator model. When you contact our representatives, you should tell them your appliance’s full model number and brand. This information will help us to avoid delays in finding the specific condenser fan motor you need.

 Below we tried to describe the following steps on how to replace a fridge condenser fan motor. Condenser fan motors are normally found near the bottom of the appliance behind a rear access panel. Follow several simple steps:

 Move the refrigerator away from the wall. Sometimes removing the base grill and raising the front levelling legs will be necessary. After that, roll the appliance forward.

 Detach a water supply line from the inlet valve before you can remove the access panel. Shut off the water supply. Unthread the screws securing the water supply line retainer to the rear panel, if applicable. Be prepared for some water to spill. Then, unthread the screws and set the panel aside.

 Reach in and push the condenser fan blade off the motor shaft. Unthread any mounting screws securing the fan motor to a mounting bracket. Disconnect the wire connector to remove the old motor fully.

 When installing a new condenser fan motor, be aware you may need to transfer rubber mounts or grommets from the old motor to the new one. Connect the wire connector, then align the motor on the bracket and thread the mounting screws. Align the fan blade on the motor shaft, then push until the blade is fully seated.

 After that, follow all these steps in reverse order. Once the repair is completed, turn the water supply back on. If applicable, plug the power cord back in, and your refrigerator should be ready for use.

 Of course, there are many DIY videos over the Internet, but different models can have specific peculiarities when replacing the condenser fan motor. Thus, we’d like to advise: “If you are not sure you can do this – contact the professional refrigerator technicians”. It helps to avoid unwanted consequences if something goes wrong.

 The other important thing you must know is how to clean a condenser fan in the refrigerator. The residents of Toronto are fond of pets. And most of them keep dogs, cats and other pets. However, pet hair gets into the refrigerator’s cooling system and clogs it. Most of our customers did not even realize they could remove the back panel and clean the dust and pet hair from the condenser fan. The condenser coils must be cleaned off every six months.

 Condenser coils are responsible for removing heat from refrigerators and freezers. The large, radiator-like coils are located at the back or beneath the unit. When dust and dirt cling to the coils, it’s harder for the refrigerator to remove heat. The result is increased energy consumption. Without regular cleaning, this can lead to problems and costly repairs. Cleaning the condenser fan is easy. We use a soft brush, remove dust from the entire unit, and thoroughly vacuum the area.

 While doing this, we explain how cleaning the fan a few times a year will extend the life of their compressor and refrigerator and decrease the number of times they need technicians.

 Gas appliances are widely spread as electric ones but need specific knowledge and requirements. They are supposed to be dangerous and need constant maintenance and repair. When you face a problem with any gas appliance, the main advice is don’t try to repair it by yourself.

 When you set your gas oven to preheat at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, place the cake on the oven counter. But after that, you turn the oven light on to see if the cake rises. And, to your regret, it is not. Opening the oven door, you realize the oven temperature has not increased above the temperature in the kitchen. Why won’t the oven heat up? To understand that, you should probably understand how a gas oven works.

 Upon the experience of our gas technicians, most of the time, this issue is caused by either a problem with a power, gas, gas igniter, burners, or in rare cases, a temperature control thermostat.

 Before paying attention to why the gas oven is not working but the stove is, let’s discover how it works. When selecting the bake or broil function in a gas oven, the control sends 120 volts of alternating current to the bake, broil igniter, or spark electrode. The igniter is wired to a safety valve, and as the component gets hot, it draws an increased current, or amps, through the valve. A bimetal arm inside the valve reacts to the heat generated by the amps, which causes the arm to flex and open, releasing gas into the oven’s bake or broil burner tube.

 The igniter or spark electrode then ignites the gas into a flame to heat the oven. An igniter will remain on to keep the safety valve open until the oven reaches the designated temperature. A thermostat sensing bulb, or an oven sensor, monitors the temperature, and when the selected temperature is reached, the control will shut off the voltage to the igniter.

 Remember that the temperature designated by the control is only an average one. The actual temperature will fluctuate throughout the cycle. Convection ovens will reduce this fluctuation by using a motorized fan to circulate the heated air evenly throughout the oven cavity with or without its own heating element.

 In this part, our experts tried to give you simple step-by-step instructions, and we are sure that they will help you to find the cause of the problem and fix it so that you can get back to using your oven again. However, if at any time you feel like you are in over your head, turn the job over to a qualified third party. Why take the risk of burns or worse? You will need a few tools and replacement parts to take on the fix yourself. Either way, you’ll want to act fast because this problem will not get better, and it will cause a significant disruption in your daily life until you handle it.

 The first step is to ensure your oven is getting power to it. Even though your oven is gas-powered, it still requires electricity for the timer and other components to be able to operate. If the circuit breaker is okay, check that the power socket is working: you can try the oven in a separate power socket to check this out. If the power outlet or socket is faulty, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician only.

 Sometimes the gas supply can get impeded and not get through to your oven. Check that the main gas valve is turned on. If not, turn it back on. Check all of the other gas supply valves, such as those on the branch lines. If everything is working, move to another step.

 This is the most common cause of an oven not working even while the stove does. Sometimes the igniter can wear out over time, or it can break for other reasons. If the igniter coil and the element for any signs of damage or discoloration, these are good signs that they may need to be replaced. If the igniter does work, the problem might be caused by another faulty component.

 If the gas igniter is working, the problem might be that the gas elements or burners are blocked. The easiest way to check them is to take them out and check that they aren’t blocked in any way. If they are, give them a clean and then put them back into the oven and see if this solves the problem. If not, move on to the next issue.

 The temperature control thermostat and thermocouple are the next components to check if you still haven’t found the cause of the problem. This component aims to monitor the temperature inside the oven and then cycle on the heat when the oven temperature gets too low. If the temperature control thermostat becomes defective, it can stop your oven from turning on. This doesn’t happen often, but if the igniter works, your best option might be to replace the temperature control thermostat and see if that solves the problem.

 Any gas appliance is dangerous and can cause explosions if mishandled. Of course, we recommend not repairing it by yourself, and it is necessary to contact the pros and schedule a visit to check and repair your gas oven.

 Red Tag from Enbridge or Uniongas. A red tag on a gas range or a gas dryer typically means that the equipment is unsafe to operate, and a technician has to put a red tag on it, which means the gas will be shut off until the problem is fixed. No worries, our team has you covered.

 We all came home after a busy day and needed just one task to go as planned. Sometimes the simplest of things complicate our lives that much more. Have you ever wondered, “Why is my dishwasher not cleaning dishes?” Do not worry, and you are not alone. A lot of frustration comes with your dishwasher not cleaning properly, and we understand why. Not only should a dishwasher sanitize and leave residue on your dishes, but it should also clear them of all the food, right?
